CFISD football power rankings: Week 4

I expected a lot of movement this week, but things stayed relatively the same with no huge surprises in Week 3.

Just one move in the rankings this week again, but some big matchups in Week 4 could shake things up moving forward.

Check out the details and you can find me on Twitter (@CyFairSports) or e-mail me at acoleman@hcnonline.com if you want to comment on, disagree with, praise or offer ideas on the power rankings.

Through rain and lightning delays and all, Cy-Fair grinded an impressive win out against Langham Creek. Last time the Bobcats were 3-0? That was the heralded 2011 campaign that featured an undefeated regular season.

So far, the Cougars are doing everything I expected them to do this season and as I wrote last week, if they keep winning, they’ll be in the district title hunt. First 3-0 start since 2009 and that season Cy Creek started 5-0.

Not judging Langham Creek harshly on Saturday’s loss. Between Cy-Fair and Langham Creek, I simply thought one good team was leaving Pridgeon Stadium with a loss and while head coach Todd Thompson won’t blame the rain for the loss, it had to be difficult to deal with. Big game against Cy Ranch this week.

Cy Springs football is the best story in 17-5A football so far this season. Won one game in 2012 and now the Panthers are playing in Week 4’s biggest game against Cy Creek - coincidentally Cy Springs’ biggest test this year. Even if they didn’t make the playoffs, if you’re a Cy Springs fans, you have to be ecstatic the team is playing meaningful football heading into October.

Funny how the first three games of 2012 for Cy Ranch are identical to the first three of 2013. Bad loss to Cinco Ranch, play better but still lose against Cy Creek and dominate in a win over Jersey Village. One of the wins that set the tone for Cy Ranch’s 2012 playoff season was the Week 4 win over Langham Creek. Does it happen again?

One rule I try to stick to is never moving a team up after a loss or down after a win. In this case, I felt comfortable doing so. Cy Ridge could’ve played much better against Cy Woods, but still had a chance to win in the end. If the Garrett Pena-Darious Crawley/Kemah Siverand connection can really get going, the Rams could score some wins.

As head coach David Snokhous said, you just can’t give 21 points away and expect to win in 17-5A. Turnovers hurt the Falcons a week after giving Cy-Fair a scare. Interesting game against Cy Falls this week.
